A person in the position of a right-hand man (yuhitsu) would write the document, and the signature and seal at the end of the document would be made by the shogun or daimyo themselves. In reality, it was rare for a Warring States period general to write the document himself, and it was often written by a specialist called a "right-hand man" (yuhitsu). 【Right-hand man】 A right-hand man (yuhitsu) was a civil official who served as a secretary to the samurai family in the medieval and early modern periods. Although the original duty was to write documents on behalf of others, as time went on, they began to create official documents and records, and took on the role of an administrative official. In the Warring States period, it became common for many samurai families to only sign and seal. In addition, the right-hand men who issued the necessary documents during wartime also accompanied the war. In the Oda and Toyotomi regimes, which established a unified government from the Warring States period daimyo, the right-hand man system (yuhitsushu) was established, and the right-hand men not only created administrative documents, but also served as magistrates and land agents, and were involved in the policy-making process. Ishida Mitsunari, Nagatsuka Masaie, and Masuda Nagamori, who were the five magistrates of the Toyotomi regime, were originally from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's right-hand men. Other famous right-hand men include Myoin Ryosei, Takei Yuan, Kusunoki Chotan, Matsui Yukan, and Ota Gyuichi of the Oda regime, and Waku Munesada, Yamanaka Nagatoshi, Kinoshita Yoshitaka, and Ai Ryosa of the Toyotomi regime. 【Condition】 There are damages, stains, insect bites, folds, and dirt due to aging. 【Other】 ◎ We do not accept returns due to the buyer's circumstances, such as "the image is different," "the size does not fit," or "unnecessary," so please bid carefully.
